fournee LPN

I am new to LTC, 2 months to be exact. I love the job even though others told me not go into LTC. The issue is the CNAs who are extremely rude and not doing their job properly. I am not used to being a manager so I am a bit apprehensive about some th...

Hello Nurses i have a 7pm-8am shift. I have never did an over night or hospice assignment. I just signed on with an agency. I was told to chart hourly. What do I chart? Client resting well? Movement? What should I Do in someone's home? Can I snack? C...

Hello Nurses . I have been a LPN for 10 years and have been full time in a HIV outpt clinic. I also have a part time job for 2 years at an Assisted Living facility. I decided to sign on with an agency because I what to be able to work in hospice(hos...

Hello Nightengales... I currently work parttime at an Assistant Living Facility. Been here 2 years and i do love what I am doing. My issue is always with management in regards to policies/rules. Residents are admitted who should not be here. We are n...

That's what I'm afraid of. Thank you. I will dot and cross everything.

Thank you so much. I will definitely chart everything from here on out.

I thank you for your response. I would like to learn more about hospice, but I realize, this wasn't the way to go. Agency knew I had no experience, but sent me anyway and told me not to tell them. I will talk to them about other assignments. I apprec...

It was not a good experience for me. I should have known something when the agency told me not to tell them I didn't have hospice experience. First it took 2.5 hours to get to a location that should have taken 45 minutes. 2 accidents in rush hour tr...

I have been working at an Asst Living Facility for 1 month part time and really love it. A resident's son gave the wellness office a bottle of Brandy to give to her at night. The instructions are to give her a 'shot' of brandy with 7up or another cle...

We have 95 residents, only 32 of them are on nursing services, meaning they come see us for meds/accuchecks/ bp checks. This resident is not one of them, the CNA's remind her to take her meds which are for HTN and Dementia. We can give PRN meds to al...

I am currently working full time in a HIV clinic and have been for 6 years. It's basically all the nursing I know/or used to since graduating. I wanted to make some extra money and get some experience in another field of nursing. So I figured I would...

I love you! Today I had 52 residents. Only Me. 5 days of training. 2 admissions and 2 readmissions. I have never did an admission at all. I told the nursing supervisor that I have never did one before and she said "Just fill out what you can" What...

Just last night a nurse who was fed up with a resident and her family, made the statement "I wish she would just die, STAT." I was shocked. I have only been working there 1 week and a lot of the nurses make comments that I feel are awful.

Hello I will be registering for this program. http://www.infusioninstitute.com/

I am very depressed and I went online seeking free help because I am so unhappy and life is not getting any better for me. I took the PN exam today for the second time. I got 205 questions this time just like the first time. I felt ok with the first ...

Hello, I became a LPN Dec 2008, and I am still working where I was while a CMA for the past 4 years. When I do look in newspapers or on the internet for job postings I see so many for RN's. I am so confused as to why it would be hard to get a nursing...

Cars are stolen everywhere, not just Chicago. Crime can and has happened everywhere.

I am an HIV LPN(NEW). My company hired a RN for role of clinic coordinator. This Rn was fired from a previous job 4-5 years ago, unknown reasons. We had the opportunity to interview her, myself and 3 PA's and her longest job in 5 years was 4 months....

Read the original post.Dated over a month ago. What co-workers had cameras? And what co-workers were nosey? She showed us the pictures that were posted on Facebook for the public to see. So you can have compassion for your coworker that wrote 2 Rx wi...

I gave it a rest, how long ago did I post. As far as you telling me to get a life, I have one, and my life entails my place of employment and my clients as well as my license. My DON did feel it was my duty to come to her with any concerns that I may...

I felt it was my business and apparently the DON felt the same. You can keep a blind eye to things that are wrong in your workplace but I can't.

People are not reading the previous posts. I did not take unauthorized pictures, don't know where that came from. The pictures were posted on the very public Myspace and Facebook page for anyone and everyone to see. But to update on the situation, ap...

"""""Think of how many people have HIV, but not full blown aids,"""""" There is no such thing as Full Blown AIDS.

yes it is wrong to refuse to help the patient. read about hiv and maybe you will be more informed.

i was taken back to the 1980's with that question. i just passed boards a few weeks ago, and in school we were taught the ways of getting hiv, so i would hope in all schools they are taught the same. i have been in the hiv field for 4 years now and t...
